T-Mobile and Sprint customers are getting a lot more data for their money

In what should be surprising to no one, it seems that people use your services more when you don’t slap them with overage fees for going over monthly allotted limits. Quartz draws our attention to some new data released by Macquarie Capital showing that average monthly data use by T-Mobile and Sprint customers surged in the first quarter of 2014 and now customers of both carriers consume significantly more data per month than rivals Verizon and AT&T.

As you can see from the graph posted above, both Sprint and T-Mobile subscribers used more than 2GB of data per month in the first quarter this year while Verizon and AT&T subscribers used roughly 0.5GB less.
